What the code means
This is a manufacturer-specific code: the meaning depends on the make and sometimes on the year.
How to read U1000: the letter U means network communication between modules; the second digit 1 marks a manufacturer code whose meaning is set by the make; the last three characters 000 identify the specific fault.
Codes for engine, transmission, transfer case and hybrid system modules. When valuing an auction car the key question is whether the fault is crash related (cut wiring, damaged radiator) or a known defect of the model.
